Apollo Square is the central area of transportation and connection routes that connect to the large residential area of working class citizens, the Artemis Suites, and Frank Fontaine's Little Sister's Orphanage and the Home for the Poor. The square is where criminals are hanged and caged. Working class apartments, Artemis Suites are homes for the low class citizens of Rapture and Dr. Suchong's clinic.

Olympus Heights is home to the Mercury Suites, which are the most luxurious and expensive apartments in Rapture, and contains a central tram route that connects the residential districts to the rest of the city. The Bistro Square, located in the center, features a fancy snack bar. From The Bistro Square one can access Apollo Square and Athena's Glory, another luxurious apartment complex.

Many workers found they couldn't afford to move anywhere else and were left in the ramshackle neighborhood after building it. The hub connects the different parts of the Drop along with the Fishbowl Diner - including Town Square with its pawn shop, Skid Row, housing the marketplace with many low quality inexpensive goods and the jazz club "The Limbo Room", and the cheap housing of the Sinclair Deluxe.
